So, here's the story...
Me and my dad's relationship has been the shits for ten years. Just recently, I've been "coming around" more, and I should've known that I'd end up regretting it. I had the idea to build my own temperature chamber for baking tapes, and I needed an old microwave for a chamber. My father found one.
Now, on the other side of things, my wife's mother bought a new car, and decided that she'd like to give her old one to us. We already have two vehicles, and don't really have a use for a third. However, with the safety laws around here, it's hard as hell to sell an old car.
Now, I began working on my temperature chamber at my father's place (mistake #1) and seems reluctant to let me take it home to wire it up, when I own all the right tools to do it at home. This is very reminissant of when he wouldn't let me take my guitar amp with me when I moved out.
I also told him about the whole thing with the car (mistake #2). He now wants to enter into a parnership (what the fuck is with him and partnerships?) where we fix it up and sell the thing.
He's been involved in other dumb money-making schemes for as long as I can remember, and none of them have worked. He used to build utility trailers with one of our neighbours, but I think my dad ripped him off.
Now, I want OUT of this stupid thing. My wife doesn't know about me telling him about the car. I mean, we don't even have it yet and he won't shut up about this great idea. He'll step over anybody to make a bit of money. I should just tell him that my wife's mom is taking it to the auto wrecker.
I'm being reminded of all the reasons that I distanced myself from my father. Next he'll be intercepting my mail to find out how much I'm paying on my house (like he got printouts of my bank statements after I moved out)
